Good 95 00:08:29,10 --> 00:08:34,84 evening their city commission city manager I number seven is an ordinance submitted 96 00:08:34,85 --> 00:08:40,56 twenty one properties to the county through our real estate act was Graham. Of note 97 00:08:40,60 --> 00:08:47,05 is that we have agreement from all parties involved that we are now pushing all the 98 00:08:47,06 --> 00:08:51,74 properties to be expedited tax foreclosure process so that will save significant 99 00:08:51,80 --> 00:08:58,01 time. For the applicants Also of note with this ordinance there are 100 00:08:58,02 --> 00:09:00,51 a handful of properties that are being requested for 101 00:09:00,52 --> 00:09:05,73 a housing project that the developer has been working with in the neighborhood in 102 00:09:05,74 --> 00:09:07,62 five and it's really 103 00:09:07,63 --> 00:09:11,45 a project that probably will be under construction in two thousand and fourteen so 104 00:09:11,46 --> 00:09:11,92 just as 105 00:09:11,93 --> 00:09:18,01 a as kind of an aside we are constantly looking at projects to have three years out 106 00:09:18,60 --> 00:09:25,13 so we hope that the new. Process that everybody is following the 107 00:09:25,55 --> 00:09:32,53 pressure in the city will cut down the time so significantly to roughly sixty six 108 00:09:32,54 --> 00:09:38,72 to nine months. In one currently before we using this new expedited process. 109 00:09:39,86 --> 00:09:46,53 It ranged from. Fifteen to twenty four months depending on the. Backlog 110 00:09:46,57 --> 00:09:48,81 in the courts because it was 111 00:09:48,82 --> 00:09:55,48 a traditional mortgage foreclosure which. As everyone knows has we've had 112 00:09:55,49 --> 00:09:59,06 a significant number of foreclosures throughout the years and so it would be as 113 00:09:59,07 --> 00:10:02,06 part of a regular mortgage foreclosure so this is 114 00:10:02,07 --> 00:10:06,94 a separate process that is designed specifically for the vacant in 115 00:10:06,95 --> 00:10:10,83 a band in property or vacant to be in the properties through the tax foreclosure 116 00:10:10,84 --> 00:10:11,21 and is 117 00:10:11,22 --> 00:10:16,56 a separate system that is much much faster.

And. 257 00:21:12,44 --> 00:21:15,68 First of all I want to say that I am pro library I use it 258 00:21:15,69 --> 00:21:20,38 a lot I go down there for many things than I ever sent my buddy Ben Franklin 259 00:21:20,39 --> 00:21:22,70 invented the system I thought this is 260 00:21:22,71 --> 00:21:29,70 a good thing I am opposed to their. Saying it's been in the paper about 261 00:21:29,96 --> 00:21:30,37 putting 262 00:21:30,38 --> 00:21:36,34 a bond issue on the agenda for two hundred thirty million dollars and I'm opposed 263 00:21:36,35 --> 00:21:42,65 to that for two reasons. Part of their plan is to tear down and close or 264 00:21:43,23 --> 00:21:48,79 close some of the existing neighborhood libraries and replaced am with 265 00:21:48,80 --> 00:21:52,64 a little bit bigger library but a little bit further away from 266 00:21:52,65 --> 00:21:58,85 a lot of people I've been at. Pro-rata board meetings neighborhood meetings and 267 00:21:59,76 --> 00:22:05,80 in the sense my impression is most of the people are opposed to this as well but 268 00:22:05,81 --> 00:22:11,05 I'm only going to speak for myself the reason I mention opposed to this is twofold 269 00:22:11,25 --> 00:22:12,63 one isn't it's a con 270 00:22:12,64 --> 00:22:19,57 a me we don't need more empty buildings. I think the money could be better used in 271 00:22:19,58 --> 00:22:24,44 the playing can be altered if it was I would probably vote for it the other thing 272 00:22:24,45 --> 00:22:30,80 is I believe that the library should be a community organization not 273 00:22:30,81 --> 00:22:35,30 a business organization and I think they should open up more branches in the 274 00:22:35,31 --> 00:22:40,89 community rather than talk about closing the branches and with that I thank you 275 00:22:40,90 --> 00:22:46,84 very much for your time thank you Ron thank you Mr Gamble.

City manager Mr Reardon and Mayor Gary lights 279 00:23:19,05 --> 00:23:25,89 city commissioners and all that are present for this meeting. On Monday this 280 00:23:25,90 --> 00:23:28,78 past Monday May fourteenth two thousand and twelve 281 00:23:29,49 --> 00:23:32,03 a friend of mine that has an eye there's 282 00:23:32,04 --> 00:23:38,95 a problem was walking on got go straight onto the sidewalk that borders when 283 00:23:38,96 --> 00:23:43,97 Avenue where Walgreens is located and he was stopped by 284 00:23:43,98 --> 00:23:50,88 a well trained German shepherd dog that was loose the dog galloped. Toward 285 00:23:50,89 --> 00:23:57,56 him. Now just imagine what you see that coming at you Well fortunately it's 286 00:23:57,57 --> 00:24:04,10 a trained dog and it didn't bite him but pulled down his pants and there he is and 287 00:24:04,15 --> 00:24:09,83 in broad daylight he wasn't doing anything but mine is own business and he had to 288 00:24:09,84 --> 00:24:13,98 stand still because he knew enough that if he moved the dog would either bite him 289 00:24:14,04 --> 00:24:19,02 or knock him down to the ground because that's what the dog is trained to do so he 290 00:24:19,03 --> 00:24:20,39 waited patiently have 291 00:24:20,40 --> 00:24:24,80 a cell phone and call the police took forty minutes for the police to get there 292 00:24:25,37 --> 00:24:31,27 because it was shift change. All right. 293 00:24:32,72 --> 00:24:38,44 So then. You know I don't have much more say that then. 294 00:24:40,39 --> 00:24:45,23 Didn't provoke that dog in any manner commissioners he was simply walking on the 295 00:24:45,24 --> 00:24:51,83 sidewalk mind his own business going to Wendy's. Many people including children 296 00:24:52,28 --> 00:24:57,75 have been attacked and scarred for life by pit bull dogs and other vicious dogs in 297 00:24:57,76 --> 00:25:02,93 our city limits Fortunately the German shepherd dog did not bite. 298 00:25:04,88 --> 00:25:10,27 And I'm not mentioning any names here because it might go to court. We have 299 00:25:10,28 --> 00:25:16,33 a vicious dog ward. That isn't being enforced by our police department mayor. 300 00:25:17,35 --> 00:25:23,95 There is no excuse for it.

First of all. Speaking on behalf of the post office and. 306 00:26:08,20 --> 00:26:12,63 Where he's been talking the news about clothes and post office and I'm wondering 307 00:26:12,64 --> 00:26:14,22 why why would there be 308 00:26:14,26 --> 00:26:20,24 a closing of our central post office it's the hub of all the post offices in 309 00:26:20,25 --> 00:26:25,60 Montgomery County not just because I know some some who work there but I'm 310 00:26:25,69 --> 00:26:31,34 interjecting because of the fact it makes no sense to shut down the location that 311 00:26:31,38 --> 00:26:38,12 all mail the route it. Downtown and dispersed through out United States through 312 00:26:38,49 --> 00:26:43,16 the main post office I find to be redundant and ridiculous. 313 00:26:46,25 --> 00:26:53,19 Maybe focus more on the outskirts of my idea. Small the post offices but 314 00:26:53,20 --> 00:26:59,79 to close the main post office downtown. It doesn't make any sense at all 315 00:27:00,75 --> 00:27:05,52 so I'm hoping that somehow we'll be able to keep it now my other issue is Hoover 316 00:27:05,53 --> 00:27:11,03 Avenue as we all know that Hoover was shut down for two or three months right by 317 00:27:11,04 --> 00:27:16,94 the old used to be the bowling alley and there was heavy equipment 318 00:27:17,16 --> 00:27:19,97 bulldozers and back holes it was sitting there and for 319 00:27:19,98 --> 00:27:22,57 a while no one was doing anything with it in there was 320 00:27:22,58 --> 00:27:24,37 a couple they ran into it in with 321 00:27:24,38 --> 00:27:30,55 a car and the wife of the driver died it was there now we were waiting because 322 00:27:30,59 --> 00:27:32,21 Hoover Avenue is 323 00:27:32,22 --> 00:27:37,06 a main street. Leading to the thirty five connector it was shut down for the 324 00:27:37,07 --> 00:27:43,84 longest now they concluded the construction there we were really sure of 325 00:27:43,85 --> 00:27:50,55 what they were doing and after it was supposed to be done it is a mess it's 326 00:27:50,56 --> 00:27:56,56 a mess and I came down town and I talked to the. Street inspector and they say at 327 00:27:56,57 --> 00:27:59,42 that it was contracted out it was 328 00:27:59,43 --> 00:28:04,14 a private contractor and that this this company was not paid because they didn't 329 00:28:04,41 --> 00:28:11,11 realize that Hoover it wasn't done the street dumps your car into the new 330 00:28:11,89 --> 00:28:18,22 asphalt then it throws your car back up over into the old and it's rough and so 331 00:28:18,33 --> 00:28:22,36 there hasn't that was about three weeks ago that I approached the stream inspector 332 00:28:22,37 --> 00:28:27,78 about that he said well we're going to do something about that.
